it is lightning over Adelaide looking down from Mount Osmond. It was taken in December 2006 and featured on the following nights news broadcast.

What a great shot! I’ve tried to get lightning shots and it just hasn’t worked, hundreds of pictures of black is what I get. (think I need a tripod). I love the colours in this. Congratulations on getting it into the calendar.

Hey there, sorry i never, saw this comment before. It was a 30 second exposure at around f22 from memory. when i get some proper time I’ll look it up. it was definitely 30 seconds though.

Cailean, 5 months ago
I remember that storm – you’ve captured it so well, you can almost see the ionization in that blue-on-blue near the lightning itself. Any wonder it was included in the Channel Ten Weather Calendar! A magnificent shot. It doesn’t completely rely on nature – you were there to witness it!
